I'm sorry if this isn't the right place, but can someone explain to me how Linux gives more liberty than Windows and why Linux is objectively better than Windows? I want to switch to Linux but i didn't find any good reason or incentive to abandon Windows
I've tried to use Linux Mint and i liked the experience, but since i'm more of a casual user, i came back to Windows 10, mainly because i just use my pc for browsing, watching YouTube and gaming, using Vegas and Visual Studio Code occasionally.
You don't have to buy a new pc just to continue using the internet. (Windows 11 forces a PC to have a modern motherboard with TPM, Windows 10 will reach End of Life and the person is fucked when certificates expire) You are not forced to have candy crush automatically installed on your machine. Your search actually can show your files and programs instead of redirecting to bing. Greatly reduced attack surface, since malware can't go living off the land. Actually faster file transfer over the network. Full telemetry with no possibility to turn it off
The list is a bit random and examples are not that hard to find. Although, almost everything is tuneable and switchable on Windows, which helps it a lot to adapt and reduce pain points mentioned above.
The main actual problem is that it's a corporation controlled, and they don't have your interests prioritized.
Installing Windows 11 on a non-TPM machine is easier than installing Linux. Source: Experience
I'm guessing you struck a more difficult distro to start with, sorry to hear that. What distro did you try to install?
